exquisite_code call for agents November 20th 2010, Piksel Festival, Bergen, Norway
exquisite_code will be run as a distributed daemon-like process operating across Piksel10 in what is proposed as an expanded inscriptional experiment.
Agents are invited to produce code/text-chunks over one day for distribution and ad hoc transmission in scheduled interrupts across the Piksel10 apparatus.
The process will be kickstarted by all agents writing a one line prompt at 12 midday 20th November.
1 Generate prompt
2 Write in response to prompt for var1 minutes
3 select/mangle text according to var2 edit
4 display edit text to all writers (+) *7 scheduled interrupt
5 join text to preceding
6 goto 1
Potential recruits are also invited to submit interrupt proposals for the day.
